TIFU- not sleeping with the woman I love

So this is a long one. (M 21) I’ve been in love with a woman that I’ve know ever since we started highschool. We dated for a while then broke up. 2 years ago we got back together and I lost my virginity to her. Our intimate life was amazing and it was the most fulfilling time of my life so far. She was my priority in life and I was absolutely head over heals. 3 weeks after we first had sex, she left off to basic training and found multiple partners without ever properly breaking things off with me. We didn’t talk for a while until she told me she got sent to California for job training. For privacy we both lived near the east coast. I drove to California (2k mile drive) to see her but I never got the chance. I headed back to my state and our contact demenished even more. Later on she text me telling me she’s now in Alaska and stationed there for the next couple years.

Being me, I moved all the way to Alaska, driving over 4K miles to be with her. I find out she’s with a new dude but I promised I would get to Alaska before her birthday. (I lost my virginity on her birthday so I wanted to be another surprise). I make it to Alaska and move into my apartment 1 day before her birthday. I get everything moved in and the next day she comes over. We’re laying in my bed and she pulls off my shirt and starts rubbing my tattoos remarking how beautiful they are. We then cuddle from there and listen to music. I put red/pink leds in my bathroom to accentuate the mood because I suspected something like this might happen.

She says she wants to take a shower and have sex with me…but I tell her know. When I was laying there with her I kept thinking about the other guy she is with and I knew if we had sex again it wouldn’t be a real as I wanted it to be. I knew I would hurt even more. That was the last time I ever seen her in person after that. I am still so very in love with her and I still regret not having sex with her, thinking it was my opportunity to mend things with her. But I know I shouldn’t regret it because I made the right choice, even if my heart hurts.

TL;DR: I didn’t take the opportunity to sleep with my ex and I’ve been regretting it thinking it would have possibly mended our relationship.

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
